IMPROVEMENT IN BRUSHES.

The Schedule referred to In these Letters Patent and making part of 'the same.

To all persons to whom these presents may como Bc it known that I, JOHN LAKE WHITLNG, of Boston, of the county of Suffolk and State -of Massachusetts, have made a new and useful invention having reference to Brushes; and do hereby declare fthe same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawing, of which Figure l'dcnotes a side elevation.

Figure 2, an end view.

l1`ignre 3 a longitudinal section; .and

Figure 4, a transverse section of'a brush containing my invention.

Figure 5 is a top view. .Fignre, an end-view; and.

Figure 7, a side elevation of the stock,l as separated from' the ferrule` and mass of bristles.

` ln such drawing- A denotes the stock or bristlesupporting body of' the brush B the mass of bristles;

G the ferrule; and t D, the handle, the latter being projected from the stock at its middle. v The brush, as shown, is what is usually termed a dat tool or brush, it heilig of the character of' the ordinary whitewash brush., V The stock, besides being constituted with two or any other suitable number of wedged or other propershaped,projections, (tu, to extend` iutozthe mass of bristles, and also with a shoulder or shoulders, b, to` enter thel fcrrule, is made with two broad lips, c c, projecting from it, and extending up and against the ferrule on its opposite sides, in manner asl represented in the drawing.

Through the said lips, the ferrule, andthe mass of bristles, rivets or screws may be extended to fasten the whole together.

1 `urthern1ore, the ferrule is formed with a truinpet or flaring mouth, as shown at d d, such'serving to coustitute a channel, e, around the bristles, and to pre.` vent them, while the brush may be in use, from being borne against the edge of the ferrnle and cut or injured thereby.

The channel serves, also, to catch and arrest any paint or liquid which, after running down on the bristies, would be likely to run upon the stock and dro from it'while the brush may be in use.

The lips c c support the ferrule and prevent it, under the strains to which it may be subjected, from working oli` the shoulder and loosening the bristles.

Tile bristles are to be secured in the ferrule, and against one another, and the parts of .the body with which they may be in contact, by cement.

I make no claim to any device, combination, or arrangement of devices as set fort-h and represented in either ot' the vUnited States Patents, Nos. 41,060, 67,726, or in the rejected application of George A. White, led J anuary 17, 1867, or in the rejected application of N. T. Whiting, led April 12, 1865. 4 I claim 'in the above-described brush the following, that is to say:

1. The stock as made, with the shoulder. b' and the lips c c, arranged 'as described.

2,. The stock as made, with the lips c c, and one or more projections, a,lto enter the bristles, as described.

3. The stock as made, with thelips c c, the shoulder b,and one or more protections, a, arranged as described.

4. The brush as made, with the lips c c, and the ferrule O, arranged with the stock A and bristles B, as set forth.

5. The brush as made, with the lips c c, and one or more projections, a, arranged with its stock A, and

ferrule O, as described.'
